Writing about so many different bands for the Alibi often lands me in marathon listening sessions trying to capture the essence of an act. With this preview, that was completely unnecessary. I’ve listened to everything that Canadian psych-rock band Black Mountain has ever released. While their latest full-length, Wilderness Heart, only garnered a couple spins, their 2005 self-titled debut and 2008’s In the Future have been played in my casa enough to qualify as a full-fledged aural obsession. There’s nothing groundbreaking about what the Vancouver-based, Jagjaguwar-signed fivesome create, but their output is the stuff of psych legend and a stoner’s wet dream. Experience Black Mountain for yourself on Tuesday, April 30, at Launchpad (618 Central SW) at 9:30 p.m. Admission to this 21-and-over gig is only $12.
